Default 3 questions about my civic

1. Why does it always pull to the right? no matter how many times I get it "aligned , it always pulls to the right...and everyplaces just tells me its because my car is lowered.

2. why are my new tires making this "wherwherwherwherwherwher" sound when I drive? the steering wheel doesnt shake or anything but the sound is soo annoying.

3. and what is that brown stuff thats above my muffler on my rear bumper? I just have full mandrel bent piping and a magna flow exhaust. It never was there when I had my greedy PE exhaust.

thanks...I just thought I'd ask em all at the same time.

1. torque pull..get rid of it with a LSD

2. could be the tread pattern on ur tires..all weather treads tend to be a little noisy

3. rust?

#1- What does the camber come out to when you get it on the alignment machine? Do you have a camber correction kit?

#2- Sounds like noise from the tread patten of your tires. What kind of tires do you have?

#3- Is your car perhaps running rich or something and the brown stuff is a stain from the exhaust? I dunno about this one, when's the last time you did a good old fashioned tune up? I don't suppose perhaps you might need a valve job? Like I said, I'm no mechanic, and I really don't know; I'm just brainstorming & throwing out possibilities...

1 - also could be 'road crown'. Why do they have it? Number of reasons. Rain, to move the rain away from the center of the road. The other is so if you fall asleep at the wheel, your more than likely to right, away from on-coming traffic.

2 - tread pattern, and road patterns can account for that noise. Some tires are just louder than others.

3 - ****?
